The Real Reason You Need to Keep Your Best Secrets

The secret IS the feeling

Have you ever been in a position where you were about to land an interview, purchase a new vehicle or house, or do any other “really exciting thing” and you wanted to tell someone about it? You go and call your best friend, your mom, your dad, or someone at work and later none of it happens?

I think there is major energy release in letting the secret out. The secret is the feeling. But we overlook it. The feeling is stirring within us, boiling, and we feel the need to release it. We are excited, and we want to tell someone. 

The secret is the feeling.

The secret holds the energy. By keeping it to ourselves we can grow the energy. We keep our excitement. We can continue to visualize living and having the thing we desire. 

If you’ve been in this situation, you can probably also feel the release of the energy behind the secret when you let the secret out. 

I’ve begun to hold onto the good secrets in my life and expose the bad ones. When I was going through some mental health issues and masking them with weed smoking and alcohol consumption, I made sure to be very open and honest with my friends about the consumption. I was open and honest because that’s not something I wanted to keep a secret about. I also wasn’t keeping a secret about the things that were bothering me or on my mind. I now no longer indulge at all, having released the energy from that long ago, over and over.

Now that I understand the power behind the concept of secrecy, I also understand that there are potent feelings involved. The reason the secret is powerful is because in a way, it binds us. Because the universe doesn’t recognize good and bad, only frequency, it’s up to us to decide which type of secrets to keep.

This is a big deal if you are in the process of changing your inner language and becoming a newer you or even better, just making a complete shift to a new you. Why not keep the good things a secret until they materialize?

Also, think about what we have talked about with what we have said about circumstances. Circumstances are a result of our past beliefs. To speak on your secret is to affirm that your secret is not yet real. It affirms lack of having it. The secret is the feeling of having it, so we must keep ahold of that state until it gestates into reality. To speak on something that has not yet happened is to also say that the thing is not real.

Wouldn’t that be the more rational way? The equivalent scenario to think about is that you just planted a seed into potting soil, and because you are excited that you just planted a seed, you bring the potted seed to work to show your work friends. You casually dig up the seed to show them that you planted it, destroying what is necessary for the seed to grow; time, darkness, absorption of water and nutrients from the soil, etc. Now you’ve killed it. Even if you hadn’t killed it, you’re basically starting over.

That’s what happens every time we tell everyone we can about the good thing we are working on. We destroy the energy surrounding our living in the end, the dream of having it, of feeling what it would feel like to have it in our hands.

I was telling a work colleague the other day what we tend to do in relationships that destroys them. We are so excited that another person has shown us interest that we proceed to break every code because we are feasting on the feeling. There’s a different approach we should take.

Don’t feast on your feelings with another person. Understand the feeling IS the thing. The feeling isn’t captured by hanging out with the person, that is the end result of the feeling. This means you can kick back and just enjoy the company. No need to try to keep the energy going through endless text messages, thinking the feeling will die out if you don’t. I will admit, however, how easy it can be to fall into that trap. 

Lastly, a secret being the feeling means that you have finally tuned into the vibration or frequency of having your desire fulfilled. A secret of good news is you being pregnant with the thing you desire, and every time you speak on it, it’s releasing it into the world prematurely. The universe doesn’t respond to words, it responds to vibration. 

There are so many benefits to keeping a secret, especially the good ones that are just for you, and benefit only you. Keep that secret within, developing the feeling of having it, and only tell your friends when it’s actually time to celebrate. Decide for yourself what is most important to keep to yourself and what is okay to share with others, and most importantly, run tests on your own to find out.

Shhh, don't tell anyone that good thing that's about to happen. Let it materialize, then you can go celebrate.
